Joe Biden’s High Jinks

Someday there will be children’s books about America’s pearly toothed, hard-charging, heart-on-his-sleeve Vice President. Through his signature combination of heartfelt schmaltz and horrendous gaffes, President Obama’s right-hand-man has ascended to near-folkloric status. Biden celebrates his 70th birthday on Tuesday, having spent four decades of his life in national politics. For better or worse, here are some of his most memorable moments.

What a great birthday, I will be celebrating my 70th May 27, 2013. You are my awesome VP and I admire you very much. I pray for you and your family nightly and our President and his family. I am very greatful that you are doing so much for our military.

Please celebrate a great day with family and friends and take care of yourself...thank you for your dedication to making America better.

Joe Biden is a national treasure. After the last cretin to occupy the position, it is nice to have someone with a soul, who is comfortable displaying emotion in public, and isn't more machine than man.
